Well, if you didn't understand the simple thing I wrote, one that I never thought would be a point of contention, then clearly not. Clearly for me, and I don't know who the fsck are you.
I still don't get how you refusing to understand something would hurt my position. Creationists do that all the time.
(Also half of the leftists I've met would say they are not leftist, it makes them feel mainstream, normal and the majority, and everybody else marginal, but that's not the point.)
I said what you said doesn’t make sense. It’s a nonsensical argument.
That's an empty phrase.
Pigouvian, taxes for example, do not depend on you having any income whatsoever.
The collected amount is a function of say, percentages of operations and amount of those operations, so this is obviously false.
Because naturally your income affects market activity.
Moreover the idea that “too big to fail” has anything to do with taxation is beyond absurd.
Well, for me arguing against that being a non-negligible input is beyond absurd.
When are you going to start talking something specific instead of "nonsensical" and "beyond absurd"?
I am a proud neoliberal
That's without any exaggeration the first time I meet somebody calling themselves neoliberal. It's usually used as a slur. So I'd like to know what do you even mean by that word.
Since you don't know what a pigouvian tax is, it's a tax designed to disincentives certain behaviors. "Sin" taxes are pigouvian. They're designed to address externalities not borne by the initial transaction.
I'm not surprised you have little understanding of terms, but perhaps instead of doing this limp-wristed slap fighting you could actually stay on topic and describe what the fuck you meant above.
I know what a pigouvian tax is. Those externalities are affected by market activity too, unless you mean a medieval-style fixed tribute.
I'd like you to explain why'd you think it's not affected by an increase\decrease in market activity.
I’m not surprised you have little understanding of terms
Terms can be found in Google in 5 minutes, which is usually sufficient. That's for those I don't understand.
Also you don't need those terms at all to support your position.
you could actually stay on topic and describe what the fuck you meant above
If activity by group A is a much bigger input into budget than that of group B, then in case of a crisis you may try to save the stability of A at the expense of that of group B. It's less likely if these are more balanced.
The point of a pigouvian tax is not to fund the government, but to shape behavior and address externalities. Revenue is not the intent.
Again you're not saying anything meaningful or specific. You can just say "I was talking out of my ass and barely remember the conversation." It's fine.
